If the plastic contains chlorine or bromine, it can serve to add compounds to the air that directly destroy ozone. Otherwise, is decreases free oxygen, which will very slightly affect the amount of oxygen to make ozone from. Add to this effect, that more fossil fuels will be consumed to replace that plastic in the chain of containers / furniture / building materials / cosmetics that it could otherwise be used for.

Do chlorofluorocarbons have a negative effect on the ozone layer?

Yes, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have a negative effect on the ozone layer. When CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they break down and release chlorine, which can destroy ozone molecules. This depletion of the ozone layer can result in increased levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaching the Earth's surface, leading to harmful effects on human health and the environment.
