going paper-free/paperless
This is how my bank and telephone company refer to it in England - we are all invited to "go paper-free", or to sign up for "paperless statements" or "paperless bills/billing"

paper use elimination
I have seen the word "depaperization" used in this context, but I don't think the meaning is clear unless there is adequate context to clarify it.
the object here appears to be the elimination of paper use, so I would translate it this way for the sake of clarity

: In a technical context (specialist journal, trade press release ...) this might be the appropriate term. I often (but not always) use this term in FR>EN for 'dématerialisation'

That is the actual context, since it belongs to a list of terms used in a conference, it is not from a translation, otherwise I would have definitely copied the exact phase with additional with clarifying paragraphs. Anyhow, you did get the meaning and helped me a lot!
Thank you all!
