Eventually, these recycling wooden pallets can realized the road leading to a community industrial enterprise from a non-profit organization in a community. The Dazhong Community uses the poor and the medium and high aged labors in the local area to produce wooden furniture with some basic wooden craft trainings to serve the residents in the community. The present research analyzes carbon footprint with the use of the recycling wooden pallets. It also investigates the possibilities of the role for a community recycling industry in the carbon trade business. The carbon footprint analysis is based on the recycling process from the collection of various different sizes of the pallet woods to the design and development and finally to produce furniture. All the tools and machines and the production management efforts are also included in this analysis. The result shows the furniture production made from recycling wooden pallet not only can bring a new momentum to community building but also can create a positive effect to environment protection. This research also reveals a possible space existing in industry academic cooperation in cultural and creative aesthetics industrial design of wooden furniture.
