Reviewer 2 Report
The Authors have augmented the quality of the manuscript consistently. However, a couple of further improvements are still needed before it can be considered for publication:
p. 3, lines 97-101: this sentence is unclear. Moreover, what is the meaning of “true life cycle costs” in such a context? Studies on PSS life-cycle modelling have demonstrated that benefits in terms of environment, costs and customer satisfaction can be achieved prolonging the PSS’ life-cycle, not the product’ life cycle only (e.g. see: https://www.designsociety.org/download-publication/32055/product%E2%80%99s_life_cycle_modelling_for_eco-designing_product-service_systems). Several typos need to be corrected. For example, p. 3, line 108: “Kim, 2012, Kim & Lee, 2012”; p. 5, line 157: which yield guaranteed results,” … p. 12, Table 5: this reviewer suggests the Authors to better specify the differences between their contribution (i.e. Table 5) and the works of Dr. Haber (e.g. see table 4 in https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Nicolas_Haber/publication/317313162_Designing_Product-Service_Systems_A_Review_Towards_a_Unified_Approach/links/5ab0ddd8a6fdcc1bc0be7600/Designing-Product-Service-Systems-A-Review-Towards-a-Unified-Approach.pdf ). p. 13, lines 346-348: clarify this sentence. p.14, lines 364-369: this sentence is too long. It should be better to split it.Author Response
