Mining with stowing is an environmentally friendly way for coal mine, and stowing material is the key to realize environmental protection and harmonious development. This paper focused on the stowing materials, and evaluation for the stowing material would be made. Stowing materials could be sorted as chemical reaction material, solid refuses from coal mine and natural material for stowing. In the light of the cost and sustainable application of the stowing material, we suggest solid refuses from coal mine are the first choice as stowing materials for now.Urban pollutants could be a good kind of stowing materials, but further study should be made for this material. Also the stowing materials should be as cheap and environmentally friendly as they could.
