Wimbledon’s White Mountain Reveals Textile Waste | Leicester News

Wimbledon’s iconic Henman Hill has been transformed into a towering mountain of discarded white clothing—five meters high, eight wide—on London’s Southbank, spotlighting the UK’s shocking textile waste crisis. Made from rescued landfill-bound garments, the installation mirrors tennis’s all-white dress code and is timed with the summer season. Judy Murray and cleaning expert Dr. Beckmann are behind the project, urging Brits to rethink how they care for white clothes, which are the most popular summer color but also the most discarded—400 million items annually. The culprit? Poor laundry habits like mixing whites or giving up on stains. Experts say most whites can be saved with better care, even offering a hotline for laundry tips. The message? Don’t throw out worn whites—extend their life, reduce waste, and rethink what “used” really means.
