Reviewer 2 Report

Dear authors,

Thanks for the good manuscript, some point needs to be clarified or correct in the text:

• Promotion of textile s producers (information need references)
• Reference not related to the text Example line 52 Reference 12 and 13 don't investigate the material fellow as you mentioned in the text
• The authors need to determine the difference in the households in Lithuania compared to other neighbour countries or European counties to justify the manuscript's novelty.
• Line 198, regarding the informational prevision, my question to the authors is: is there any efficient method or industry for post-consumer textile recycling? This point needs to be clarified in the manuscript.
• The study presents that textile recycling for post-consumer is exciting, and they are no use of it; this point not clarify.
• The authors consider that all post-consumer textile are recyclable, and doesn't stress the point of attention to use a sustainable textile which can be recyclable, this point needs to be clarified.
