Electronics have an exceedingly high embedded energy, given the tolerances, purities, rare minerals, etc., utilised within them.

The bond-energy of goods is less significant, particularly if that bond-energy existed in the raw form of the material (e.g., wood or plastic (petroleum)). It's the energy used in transforming, processing, and transporting materials that matters.
