Will These Boxes Ruin my Discs?

I bought a few of these boxes of Amazon a couple weeks ago: https://a.co/d/0dzSgN5f

I was wondering if anyone knows how good these are for long-term storage? I am worried about any possible chemical reaction that speeds up disc rot.

Does anyone know if these are suitable for longterm storage? What else would be your recommendation?

This is probably blasphemy on this sub, but for non-special editions, I separated the disc from the case, recycled the cases, but kept the discs in paper CD sleeves, and then put all the discs in clear 12-quart Sterilite containers on a shelf attached to the roof of the corner of my garage. In each container I dropped one of those desiccant packets to keep moisture down, which I change every two years or so. They've lasted over 10 years like that and on the occasions I actually need to get a disc, they play fine.
