"This gives us no hint, what you considers being the best proposal.... Any peer, who searches in future a good translation for the same term would be grateful to you, if he knows your appreciation." No hint? I must say, the native speakers have spoken. We have two good solutions.

Can you please tell us, what materials are used in your text, and why the are called "non-sustainable materials"? Are "sustainable materials" also specified or explained? Please list these materials, if detailed!

"L'architecture écologique (ou architecture durable)" est hors du sujet et ne peut pas soutenir la proposition "matériaux non durables". Pardon! Nous parlons de matériaux et pas comment concevoir des bâtiments.

L'architecture écologique (ou architecture durable) est un système de conception et de réalisation ayant pour préoccupation de concevoir une architecture respectueuse de l'environnement et de l'écologie. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_écologique

Sustainable architecture is architecture that seeks to minimize the negative environmental impact of buildings by efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space and the ecosystem at large. Sustainable architecture uses a conscious approach to energy and ecological conservation in the design of the built environment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_architecture

when applied to development ("sustainable development") and when applied to products ("sustainable products") doesn't mean quite the same thing. So you can't automatically use the same translation for "sustainable".

From the practically non-existent context we only know that here it's about materials (like plastics / ceramics and ...?) and NOT about "finished products", so it possibly puts yet another twist to the meaning of "sustainable" / "non-sustainable".

Non-sustainable veut dire "non facilement renouvelable" et plus exactement "qui ne peut pas être facilement renouveler". Je ne vois pas comment cela se puisse traduire comme "non respectueux de l'environnement".

Voici la définition anglaise de sustainable
: of, relating to, or being a method of harvesting or using a resource so that the resource is not depleted or permanently damaged

en plus, quand je vois cette expression traduite comme non-durable dans les aides sur internet, cela devient encore pire et plus fourvoyant.

Donc pour moi la bonne traduction est "non facilement renouvelable" ou bien "difficilement renouvelable" dans la nature
