Medical Helium is not used to inflate balloons. The helium used to inflate balloons is not pure enough for medical use. It is a by-product gathered during the production of medical grade helium. Instead of wasting this resource, it is collected and recycled.

You seriously copied that from a party balloon company's Facebook post?

Regardless, helium is a non-renewable resource and the grade of helium used in balloons is used for other critical purposes like atmospheric science, welding, aerospace, etc...
