Reviewer 1 Report

Here are the obligatory comments:

Here are the obligatory comments.
1. Introduction. The aim of the article should be emphasized and justified.
2) A literature review section should be added. The literature used today is abundant. The world's scientific achievements have not been analyzed. A critical analysis of the literature should be carried out, and then the research gaps that will be filled thanks to the analysis conducted in the article should be shown.
3) Do not use the term "supply chain model". This is an absolute logical error. The model means that it can be used for various industries and sectors. The supply chain is always specific to a product, service, industry or sector. The article uses the concept of a reverse supply chain but for one case. Therefore, it is not a model.
4) it is necessary to add a methodology section. justify the choice of methodology and describe the data sources.
5) Add a discussion section. A discourse on the results of the analysis should be conducted.

Reviewer 2 Report

The article is an original and interesting study, it definitely broadens knowledge in science.
In order to organize the sequence of actions, the authors created an article based on the following questions:

(1) In the dual-channel recycling supply chain, how do adjustment parameters of recycling price and service affect the stability of the recycling market in the dynamic evolution? Whether the market has initial value sensitivity when in chaotic state?
(2) How do the consumer's service sensitivity and service cost parameter influence the stable region of the system?
(3) / in article duplicate order - correct / In a long-term game, how does the adjustment speed of service influence profits of the third-party collector and the manufacturer?
(4) How can the chaotic phenomena be controlled if chaos occurs?

It is worth describing the research methods used in more detail, along with information about the adopted estimation (assumed measurement error).
Although the Authors do not associate other works in this area, a chapter on the discussion of the obtained results should be added (not the same as the conclusion), in which they will also refer to the works of other authors.
It is also worth for the Auers to refer to works from continents other than Asia.
