Reed Music is continually searching for new ways to create quality publications with minimal environmental impact. As governments procrastinate worldwide, it remains the responsibility of individuals and business to make the small changes that can have a global cumulative impact.

Reed Music begun the significant process of conversion to high quality recycled paper made from 100% post-consumer waste. All new publications are printing on this new paper and existing publications are in conversion as existing stocks are depleted. Laminated non-recyclable covers are being replaced with sturdy non laminated covers. All publications are printed locally saving on transport costs and carbon emissions.
