Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
1- Abstract
Line 16-17 - The available papers are more focused on ELV recycling systems in European Union, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China.
Is there a comparison between Southeast Asia’s developed countries and nations from Europe in the paper?
2- Introduction
Line 132-133 - Please avoid reference overkill [24,25,32,33]. However, only a few research papers on ELV issues have been published in Malaysia [24,25,32,33] and Thailand [27].
3. ELV Management System: Good Practises from Developed Asia Countries
Line 223 – Table 2. Suggest including Singapore's ELV system in a table comparing the ELV systems in Japan and Korea.
4- Scenario analysis of current ELV Management Systems in selected Southeast Asia’s developing countries: Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia
Line 373 - The illustration of Malaysia's ELV recycling procedure in Figure 7 is unreadable or too small.

Reviewer 2 Report
This manuscript reviewed and discussed about ELV management in South East Asia, especially Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. This manuscript reveals a lot of interesting information as well as compared and gives best practices from developed countries like Japan, Korea, and Singapore. Finally, the current situations and future perspectives were critically discussed. This manuscript will be very useful for many developing countries. So, it should be accepted after the minor revision. Please find my comments and suggestions below.
- Table 1: A lot of numbers were presented. It is difficult to read and compare. I recommend adding "," to make it easy to read. You may also consider using the same digit number, aligning right, and/or arrangement of countries based on the total registered roads.
- Figure 1: The caption should be specific that this is a flow of Japan. Also, the full names of FC, GG, and DV need to explain.
- Table 2: The whole table should be on the same page.
- Figure 5: Many words were written in Malay. Please revise to English.
- Figure 7: The resolution of the figure is low. Please check.
Good luck!
