According to the PR, the lifting gas (not sure if it's helium) will be recovered:

"Following completion of a mission, the BIB system is designed to quickly and automatically be recovered while the lifting gas is retained in the BIB self-contained helium storage system. The envelope can then be re-packaged inside the weather sealed crate, the vehicle is able to move on to its next destination, and the BIB system may be re-deployed."
