It doesn't. The ozone layer has *nothing at all* to do with trapping CO2.

Above the level of the ozone layer, intense radiation breaks CO2 down, so you get fooled into thinking the ozone layer had something to do with "trapping".

Is carbon dioxide destroying the ozone layer?

Carbon dioxide is not destroying the ozone layer directly but its adverse effects can be seen on the ozone layer indirectly. Carbon dioxide leads to global warming which does not allow the heat to escape out because of which the temperature for the production of ozone is stopped. The rate of production is less than rate of depletion which causes ozone layer to deplete.
