If you read the article, it tells you that they collect recyclable material, then provide to firms which produce products from the usable material, and the remainder goes to landfills or is incinerated. I think the punchline is that by reducing their waste production and developing a better waste management system, they've been able to clean up their island.
Very interesting, thank you
