1. A system for predictive tiered asset storage based on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, the system comprising:
at least one processor coupled to at least one memory containing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform processes comprising:
causing storage of an original physical asset in a first storage medium;
causing storage of a first digital representation of the original physical asset in a second storage medium different than the first storage medium;
monitoring a set of storage parameters for the original physical asset including a storage cost for storage of the original physical asset and the first digital representation, wherein the storage cost is based on at least one ESG factor associated with the asset;
causing deletion of the first digital representation from the second storage medium to leave only the original physical asset based on a first change of the at least one ESG factor that changes the storage cost; and
continuing monitoring of the set of storage parameters to determine when another digital representation of the original physical asset is required in the system.
