IBEX INDUSTRY CAPABILITY AND CAPACITY DETERMINATION SUPPORT FOR MORTUARY AFFAIRS REPORT ON WASHINGTON STATE

Industrial Base Extension (IBex) Program Capability and Capacity Determination Support
for Mortuary Affairs Report on Washington State. IBex was developed to support DOD
operations in remote or hostile environments where little or no commercial capability
information is known or exists. Bolstering DLA’s ability to rapidly respond to shifting
worldwide events, IBex’s strategic partnerships with industry experts allows government
planners to leverage the expertise of the commercial sector, and to gain access to those
commercial capabilities if required. Moreover, through IBex’s partnerships with industry
and its Market Research reports, the program provides industrial base awareness over assets
that can be utilized during a contingency or national emergency. This report will provide in-depth information on the current practices of implant recycling practices within the US mortuary industry, identifying best practices, barriers to adoption,
and opportunities for improvement to inform policy recommendations and promote
sustainable waste management in Washington state.
