Dear Ms. or Mr. Reviewer!
Thank you for your praises, remarks and advices on the improvements of our article.
We made all of the corrections you requested. The changes and new parts were remarked by red colour in the text. (A comment can be found on p 4.)
We used the new sources and references you offered (l. pp. 1-4; and 10) and even more. Reference list and its numbering were also changed.
We created new paranthese on the "plastic free" aim of the EU (p. 5.); and we aspired to make one on the "regarding food treatment in a sustainable and circular economy view in order to decrease the environmental and heath impact." (p. 7.) As we experienced, we found the most important information on "land use" and "production method" regarding to this question. You also can see further information about the sustainability and circular economy aspects of food chains in the article, for example in the "Conceptual approach" (p.3.)
We made a rephrase on the sentence about "landfilling and incineration" (p.4.) We created a new Figure, describes the system of the aspects of our Method (Figure 3.; p 15.). Based on the new experiences, we also made changes in the list and relations of these aspects.
We made corrections in the English.
Please, take a view on our changes, and we are waiting for your new feedbacks.
Yours sincerely:
Konrád Kiss

As for the analysis of results and conclusions are correct, providing interesting reflections and implications for management.
Aspects that should be improved:
Review and include some of the current bibliometric analyzes performed on circular economy, such as:

The methodology used is explained very briefly. It would be convenient to detail it in more detail in the corresponding section.
