Yes, but since these are all atomic elements, they are not destroyed. We will have to find better ways to recycle.
Possibly a more interesting question is how much of each substance/person is necessary for ongoing needs. That is, if n grams of a substance is used in a cell phone, and everyone in the world has a cell phone, then we need 6n billion grams just to satisfy ongoing needs.
