Highly-recyclable parts of glass and aluminum. The anecdote from the article aside, Apple operates a recycling program where you can simply bring in your old hardware (IIRC) for a discount on the new hardware.

Greenpeace protesting outside of Apple is front page headlines.

Greenpeace protesting outside of <random PC manufacturer> is page 5 at best.

When you want to make the 6pm news you go after the guys that gives you the most publicity, rather than the guys that are worse offenders.
