Can the ozone be fixed?

The ozone layer is something very precious for the human race. But this human layer is being destroyed by the reckless use of the harmful CFC's by man thus making a kind of ozone hole in the ozone layer. This ozone layer cannot be replenished by man made sources. This is because the amount of ozone which is prepared by man is very negligible as compared to the amount which is depleted.So the ozone can only be replenished if the amount of CFC's which are consumed by the human race is decreased.
