He founded Ecocap, which patented a more recyclable bottle cap design, and founded Belu Water, the UK’s most eco-friendly bottled water brand. Belu is the world’s first carbon-neutral bottled water, the first in Europe to use compostable bottles made from corn, the first to promote PVC-free bottle caps and the first to commit 100% of profits to clean water projects. Reed completed university education in communications, then spent more than a decade working as a journalist. Along with producing television news in New York, he directed the award-winning documentary Amerikan Passport, which was filmed in 11 war zones and included the military crackdown in Tiananmen Square and SCUD missiles landing in Tel Aviv.
