CFCs, and are known ozone depleters. See the link below for what their effects are.: * Refrigerant R-10 is CCl4. * Refrigerant R-11 is CCl3F. * Refrigerant R-12 is CCl2F2. * Refrigerant R-13 is CClF3. HCFCs, and are known ozone depleters but with lowered suvivability to reach the ozone layer. See the link below for what its effects are. * Refrigerant R-22 is HCClF2. * Refrigerant R-40 is CH3Cl. It is responsible for ~17% of chlorine-assisted ozone destruction in the statosphere. It is today primarily produced by plants, and the combustion of organic waste materials, since its use in industry was stopped some time ago. CFCs inclusive of HCFCs, are ~82% of the chlorine currently found in the stratosphere Some refrigerants that do not contain chlorine or bromine are: R-14, R-23, R-32, R-41, R-50, R-116, R-125, R-E125, R-134, R-134a, R-E134, R-143, R-143a, R-143m, R-E143a, R-152, R-152a, R-161, R-170, R-218, R-227ca, R-227ca2, R-227ea, R-227me, R-236cb, R-236ea, R-236fa, R-236me, R-FE-36, R-245ca, R-245cb, R-245ea, R-245eb, R-245fa, R-245mc, R-245mf, R-245qc, R-254cb, R-254pc, R-263, R-272, R-281, R-290, R-C318, R-3-1-10, R-347mcc, R-347mmy, R-365mfc, a few of the blends between R-400 and R-600, R-600, R-600a, R-601, R-601a, R-610, R-611, R-630, R-631, R-702, R-704, R-717, R-718, R-720, R-728, R-732, R-740, R-744, R-744A, R-764, R-784, R-1114, R-1132, R-1141, R-1150, R-1216, R-1270 This list includes chemicals that are so stable that they also can accumulate over decades as CFCs did, and yet new problems may result from their use and/or release into the environment. Others of them are fuels (so are flammable), components of natural gas, and may not accumulate, but can contribute to ozone pollution as a VOC.

How can the ozone layer be affected if you recycle?

It will have zero effect. The ozone layer is affected by water vapor, the amount of sunshine and (according to some) CFC's which are produced during the creation of your air conditioner or refrigerator. Recycling is a great idea, but will have zero effect on the ozone layer.
