I believe he just means that since tires are very complex in their constructions (rubber, steel, carbon, elastomer, etc.)

All hydrocarbon-based material could be reconverterd back into oil, but some of them (elastomer) is worth more as an elastomer. The process cannot create the elastomer, but it can (apparently, if I correctly understand) break-down the other hydro-carbons and leave the elastomer intact.

This seems to me folks, what the famous catalyst is all about. It gives them them ability to tweak the process and produce a selectable oil type (diesel, etc.) or to choose whether to break-down or preserve other hydrocarbon-based material in the feedstock.

I'm not a specialist, so that's just what I've understood personally. I make no claims that this is accurate.
