Data for: Guidelines and strategies to implement and operationalize WEEE LRS in small Brazilian municipalities

The dataset contains the full set of responses collected through a structured online questionnaire and the results of a focus group session conducted as part of the research on the challenges of implementing and operationalizing Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Reverse Logistics Systems (RLS) in small municipalities. The Excel spreadsheet includes both raw and aggregated data from the questionnaire, which comprises open-ended and closed-ended questions. The survey was developed using the Federal University of Espírito Santo’s electronic platform, designed to host research instruments for both internal and external audiences. The questionnaire collected information on the sector represented by the respondents (academic, community, business, institutional, rural, and others) and their geographical location (municipality and state). For each challenge presented, participants were asked to select one of three options: Agree, Disagree, or I don’t know how to give an opinion. To complement the quantitative data, open-ended questions were included at the end of each section to gather qualitative insights and contextual comments. In addition to the survey data, the dataset includes an image of the focus group session, which served to explore and validate the findings derived from the questionnaire. The focus group was held online on July 11, 2023, via Google Meet, with the participation of 10 representatives from academic, business, and institutional sectors, as well as organizations involved in recyclable material management. The session followed a structured agenda: a 10-minute presentation introducing the research and the Current Reality Tree (CRT) methodology, followed by brief participant introductions and a 45-minute collaborative exercise using Figma software to construct the CRT.
