Key Points

Dynamic boronate ester gels enhance the functionality of organosolv lignin, making it versatile for various applications.
The ethanol/water tandem batch method effectively depolymerizes lignin, promoting its use in gel formulations.
Glycerol carbonate functionalization is proposed to improve the properties of the resulting gels, pointing towards sustainable materials.
These findings may enable new uses for lignin, a byproduct of biomass, in creating eco-friendly materials.
