Textile wastewater (TWW) poses a major threat to the environment and is usually contaminated with a variety of substances that are difficult to remove. The aim of this work was to simulate a textile wastewater treatment plant using a hybrid ultrafiltration (UF) – reverse osmosis (RO) process, with the primary objective of closing the water cycle so that all process streams from the membrane process can be reused or utilised for other purposes. Real samples of TWW were first treated with the UF process and the UF permeate was collected. This permeate was then treated with the RO and the RO retentate was collected as it was used as irrigation water for basil and beans. The results show that UF was the first membrane operation to successfully reduce the values for turbidity, chemical oxygen demand, and spectral apsorption coefficient. On the other hand, RO is the necessary membrane operation when it comes to significantly reducing the values of electrical conductivity and the concentration of various ions in the treated water. Analysis of the water, plant material and soil showed that all RO retentates and all RO retentates diluted 50:50 with tap water were harmless to plant development in terms of chloride, nitrate, ammonia, sulphate, iron, and manganese concentrations and pH. Plants irrigated with TWW were found to have higher concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium than plants irrigated with tap water, but when diluted RO retentates were used, these plants had similar concentrations of these substances to the plants irrigated with tap water. In the soil irrigated with TWW, sulphur and phosphorus concentrations were found to be much higher than in the soil irrigated with tap water. When using diluted and undiluted RO retentates, the concentration values of the mentioned elements were lower compared to the soil samples irrigated with TWW.
