Judy Murray fronts a new campaign highlighting the UK's growing textile waste problem, as a Murray Mound-sized installation of discarded white clothing is unveiled on London's South BankSteve Richmond14:39, 29 Jun 2026Updated 09:11, 30 Jun 2026Murray Mound makes a return on London's South Bank Henman Hill was famously rechristened Murray Mound after British tennis star Andy Murray during the height of his career in the 2010s. However, the iconic Wimbledon landmark has now been reimagined as a mountain of discarded white garments.‌It is estimated that a heap of clothes, big enough to match Henman Hill, is being sent to landfill every single day. This reimagined landmark on London's South Bank has been constructed from stained, faded and yellowed white clothing, highlighting the magnitude of the UK's textile waste crisis.‌Fronted by Judy Murray and created by cleaning and laundry specialists Dr. Beckmann, the installation encourages Brits to keep their white clothing in circulation for longer.‌The five-metre-high, eight-metre-wide mound has been assembled from thousands of discarded white garments rescued from landfill, mirroring the famous all-white tennis dress code.Judy Murray said: “As a mum, I remember the endless battle of trying to keep Andy and Jamie’s tennis whites looking white. Grass stains, sweat marks, mud - you name it, it all came home with them. So, I know first-hand how quickly white clothing can start to look past its best.‌“But to think that a pile of discarded white clothing the size of Murray Mound is going into landfill every single day is deeply concerning. Tennis is synonymous with white clothing, so there’s no better moment to shine a light on the issue.”Research involving 2,000 adults commissioned by Dr. Beckmann and circular clothing experts Reskinned revealed white is officially the UK's favourite colour to wear during summer - but also amongst the most likely to be discarded.Brits admit to disposing of an average of eight white clothing items per person annually, amounting to an estimated 440,178,024 white garments each year across the UK.‌The average lifespan of coloured clothing is roughly a third longer than white clothing, with staining, fading and discolouration driving much of the problem. The result is a cycle of replacement rather than retention, with the average person expected to buy 212 white T-shirts during their adult lifetime.Chloe Baker from Dr. Beckmann, creators of Glowhite, which helps to prevent greying and dullness, said: "Nearly half of Brits are washing whites with colours, which can accelerate greying and dullness, while stains, sweat marks and yellowing are causing people to replace items that could often be rescued.‌"We believe people need the right tools for the right job. Our mission is to help consumers care better, waste less and keep their whites in play for longer."While charity shops (63%) remain the top destination for unwanted clothing, white clothing faces a unique second-hand stigma.Many believe stains and marks are easier to spot making it the hardest colour to resell. And one in three even admitted they are less likely to buy second-hand white clothing.‌Ross Barry, co-founder of Reskinned, said: “This is the first time we have seen estimates looking specifically at colourway, and the findings show just how vulnerable white clothing is to being discarded.“White garments can be harder to resell or donate because visible marks, stains and discolouration are easier to spot, but that does not mean they have reached the end of their life.“Stains and all, we work to make sure clothing is given a second life wherever possible.Article continues below"Through our takeback programme, we collect unwanted clothing directly from consumers and find the best next destination for every item, whether that is resale, repair, reuse or recycling, helping to keep textiles in use for longer and out of landfill.”To help consumers rescue their own summer whites, Dr. Beckmann has also launched The Washing Line, a dedicated laundry hotline (+441618412861), offering expert advice on tackling stains, dullness and discoloration this fortnight.
