Ozone depletion is the process where ozone holes are created in the ozone layer. It is caused due to the action of chloro-floro-carbons on the ozone molecule to break it down to oxygen.
What causes the layer to break down?
CFCs
Do CFCs strengthen the ozone layer?

CFC's are the gases that react with ozone to break it down. They deplete the ozone.
Which contaminant has the greatest negative effect on the ozone layer?
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), insecticides, partially oxidized molecules based on carbon or sulfur especially.
What human-made chemicals cause the ozone to deplete?
