If you are looking for ways to improve the wall finishing inside your house or office, you are probably thinking about using profiles to protect and cover the corners of the walls.    They are very classy and elegant. And they come in different colors, so you can find the tone that matches your decor. But like every other product on the planet, it leaves its own carbon footprint.    Tecnoperfil Plásticos LTDA. now manufactures wall corners made with UBQ™, which diverts waste from landfills and incinerators, prevents greenhouse gas emissions, and supports a truly circular economy.    They joined the material revolution. Are you ready to be the next company reshaping how your products are made?    Learn more about UBQ: www.ubqmaterials.com
