Given its importance, this theme has received considerable attention in recent literature. This study focused on investigating the relationships between socio-spatial characteristics and the distribution of WEEE collection points in the city of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. To this end, data mining (DM) techniques were applied to generate rules representing knowledge that explains the relationship among the considered variables. The results achieved (accuracy 81.25% and Kappa statistic 74.71%), indicating consistent patterns, demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach to aid WEEE reverse chain management. From a practical point of view, the knowledge produced is an important support for decision-making on the installation of new collection points, considering the socio-spatial characteristics of the target locations. In addition, this research contributes to the responsible management of solid waste recommended by the Brazilian National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP), as well as to the advancement of the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), particularly SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), by fostering sustainable practices in waste management and resource utilization within urban contexts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/recycling10020077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,16]],"date-time":"2025-04-16T06:12:06Z","timestamp":1744783926000},"page":"77","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Investigating the Socio-Spatial Dynamics of WEEE Collection in S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil: A Data Mining Approach"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4744-3963","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Geraldo C. de","family":"Oliveira Neto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Engineering Post Graduation Program, Federal University of ABC, S\u00e3o Bernardo do Campo, S\u00e3o Paulo 09606-045, SP, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism (DEGEIT) and GOVCOPP, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Marcos","family":"Alexandruk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Informatics and Knowledge Management Post-Graduation Program, Universidade Nove de Julho\u2014UNINOVE, Rua Vergueiro 235\/249, S\u00e3o Paulo 01525-000, SP, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3970-5801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sidnei Alves de","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Informatics and Knowledge Management Post-Graduation Program, Universidade Nove de Julho\u2014UNINOVE, Rua Vergueiro 235\/249, S\u00e3o Paulo 01525-000, SP, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9529-1637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peterson Adriano","family":"Belan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Informatics and Knowledge Management Post-Graduation Program, Universidade Nove de Julho\u2014UNINOVE, Rua Vergueiro 235\/249, S\u00e3o Paulo 01525-000, SP, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8144-7441","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco C.","family":"Delmondes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Engineering Post Graduation Program, Federal University of ABC, S\u00e3o Bernardo do Campo, S\u00e3o Paulo 09606-045, SP, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9527-7098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rafael Abreu","family":"Faioli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Engineering Post Graduation Program, Federal University of ABC, S\u00e3o Bernardo do Campo, S\u00e3o Paulo 09606-045, SP, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4329-6246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Matias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism (DEGEIT) and GOVCOPP, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8415-9040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mario","family":"Rodrigues","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism (DEGEIT) and GOVCOPP, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0901-0614","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marlene","family":"Amorim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism (DEGEIT) and GOVCOPP, University of Aveiro, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"461","DOI":"10.1007\/s43615-024-00423-0","article-title":"Prioritizing Factors Affecting E-Waste Recycling in India: A Framework for Achieving a Circular Economy","volume":"5","author":"Jaiswal","year":"2024","journal-title":"Circ.
